Flavor-of-the-week games.

These are games that get streamed and people just mindlessly fall over on themselves to get - simply because they watched a streamer play them. It’s happened with Fall Guys, it’s happened with Simulator games, it’s happened with other similar games. They would be popular for a good two weeks worth and then dead afterwards just so people can fawn over the next game.

It is a symptom of people chasing that carrot on the stick.

Lego should sue their balls off over the attempt for just trying to look like Lego.

The story is incredibly pretentious that loses itself by the second game and especially after the second game. I don’t really care, I just liked the worlds you went to and did things in.

They aren’t even good work simulators either. People play them just for the jankiness.

I’m so tired of finger-touch interfaces. Especially when they lag and they don’t register your input right away.

I remember being so pissed at the Mandarin part. That would’ve been the most fitting way to conclude the Iron Man series of films (provided they weren’t going to carry them on anymore) and it was Iron Man’s personal arch nemesis. And they made the Mandarin just a dude pretending to be him.

While the real baddy was just some human glowstick who heats up at random or whatever, I don’t care how or anything. I just didn’t care anymore after the Mandarin screw up. Fuck that movie.

You’ve not really seen what a very sharp and prepared piece of metal can do to someone, have you?

Same. I still have the discs around for no particular reason. I watched Desolation of Smaug in theaters, but then I watched all three of them in a row at somepoint.

My point still stands, so much unnecessary clutter for an otherwise short book.

Like okay, I know people were probably eager to see something Middle-Earth related after they felt like it’s been ‘forever’ ago since the LOTR films up until the Hobbit ones. But, they didn’t need to do the Hobbit that dirty. But, Amazon raised the ante later on. I’m not watching the Rings of Power, ever. Not even because of the diversity issue, but, it supposedly is based on the Silmarillion and I consider that my sacred book not to be fucked with and I don’t want to see a show that probably is going to mess with it.

So I’m going through this right now with my therapist who I’ve been with for 3 years now. And, the last session I had with her, was an attempt to re-align what we’re to work on because the session before that, I was in no mood to discuss whatever it was she wanted to work on with me. And I felt incredibly invalidated and unseen because, I was showing a lot of visual cues that was like “I’m not interested, I’m emotional, I’m angry at everything and everyone right now” and while she did pick up on that, she obliviously carried on.

There had been an awful lot of questionable things she’s told me that didn’t simply sit well. I’m not sure if she’s not articulating her points well or what, I’d like to think she isn’t being deliberate but she delivers her words so conclusively that it really makes me convinced that she’s not helping as much as she thinks.

You’re going into therapy, to unpack, to learn about and to work with mental issues or challenges that you yourself need a little assistance on. You’re trusting a professional (someone with PsyD, PhD .etc) to do that for you and their job is to help navigate, resolve and help you understand. They aren’t there to sugarcoat anything, if they’re going to tell you something that is something you didn’t realize before, it’s going to hurt.

I know for certain that therapists are not meant to leave you feeling worse off, like mine kinda is now. They aren’t supposed to argue with you, raise your emotional levels or escalate anything. They also aren’t yes-men either. It’s about finding the right neutral balance and if a therapist can’t do that for you, then it’s not really a good form of therapy.

Definitely will be trying that, sounds and seems very interesting.

I think MusicBrainz Picard is more for local tracks you already have on your drives. Like it’s an advanced version of what Windows Media Player would do with downloading metadata when you’re using it to rip CDs.

With EDM-type of music, there’s a wide array of artists, remixes and versions of songs that it can be difficult for even some of these programs to narrow down. So the samples I have to make, have to be clear enough to be heard to be identified and even then, there’s a low chance.

I haven’t even started separating tracks because there’s show segments I have to identify and remove, there’s figuring out when a song starts and when it ends. It’s a process, for sure. Not to mention, the time available to me to even do all of this. It takes over 45 - 50 minutes to have Ultimate Vocal Remover 5 to go through each file. Then it’ll probably be like another hour and a half to figure things out.

I don’t think the responsibility lies on DI.FM than it did on the hosts of the show, I mean, I tried looking up archived show notes when they were on Rant Radio and nothing could be found. It wouldn’t have hurt to credit what music you’re playing but, this was at the time, a one of a kind show that was very makeshift and took its time to find its identity. So I think the hosts and everyone working on the show, haven’t had a thought of letting listeners in on what was being played.

I mean, maybe they did at the time? But I’m not sure because I was not an active listener of the period of which I’m targeting the music being played the show is on. I discovered them in 2008 and the shows I’m doing are 2003 - 2005.

So, it is what it is, I’m doing what I can with what I have available to me.

Warmongers.

I don’t fuck around with that kind of shit anymore. I always pick ‘keep inventory items upon death’ option. That way, the only thing I just lose out on, is where the hell I was if I wasn’t keeping track of coordinates.

Chess is decided on who makes critical mistakes. There is someone at fault, whether it is you or your opponent. The frustrating part, is always the one where you make a move you realize later that you shouldn’t have made and your opponent exploiting it.

And pays the tariff reimbursements. And the DOGE checks. And the two other stimulus packages that was supposed to happen sometime ago. Anyday, soon! VERY SOON! STOP BEING IMPATIENT!

All that Trump’s actions do and will have done, is say “Hey, future corrupt presidents after me, see? You CAN do anything you want and you WILL get away with it so long as you’re the president! Every and all opposition is just noise, just keep being happily corrupt and NOTHING will happen to you!”.

It has set that precedent.

Even the Bushes when they were in the oval office, did sometimes look over their shoulders as to whether or not what they did was wrong or right on some things. They somehow still had some resemblance of morals.

Trump has none. He doesn’t care of anyone or anything. It’s all “my way or go fuck yourself”.

He looks the part.

When has it?

Yes, I have a fan always going through the night and I always have something playing like an old podcast as well. I just can’t simply sink into sleep with nothing alone, I’ve tried that, with limited success and there’s people around me, whose noises tend to wake me up.
